I would have to say that even though I have known this guy for many years, we are now able to talk about more things than we were before. There was a major event in our lives that lead to some problems with us and with some trouble, we had to talk things through and have been able to talk more easily about things and even though it hasn't been easy to do, I like being able to talk more easily to him. We still aren't over the issue that caused the problems, but talking about it has gotten easier as time goes on. I've been pretty closed mouthed about a lot of things up to this point and I like being able to voice things now. I'm not sure how he is reacting to it, though. He tells me it is okay, but I'm not sure he has accepted the difference in me. So what is the favorite thing about YOUR relationship?

Everything. I love everything about her. If she was gone, I would even miss when she was mad at me and ignoring me. Because I have faith that our love is real and even though I wear my feelings for her on my sleeve and she has a hard time expressing her feelings for me, I know how she feels about me. I know I can always count on her. I love that everyday she gets more beautiful. I cant help but smile at her sometimes so I look like a goober sometimes and she laughs at me or yells at me. Haha. I've heard about real love, but you never really know how it feels until you're in it.

I have been married for 26 years. I have learned a lot of things along the way of our relationship journey. The important things require to build strong relationship with my spouse is mutual trust, care, and openness. With these I & her can share Ideas, opinions, feelings, and also differences openly and freely. And there is one and the most important skill requires to cultivate relationship, that is good communication. Because, the quality of our relationship is determined by the quality of our communication.

Congratulations,sriyono on 26 years! I realize how that is 26 years of work and you are both to be commended for that hard work. I have learned after 2 bad marriages and a short relationship that communication is key, but still stumble with it!! Thanks so much for your comments and your added wisdom.

What I like about my relationship right now is that we are transparent with each other. If something is making us angry that one of us has something to do with, we can talk about it. I love the fact that I can be honest and tell my partner my fears and problems. I also love how playful we can be with each other so basically we are having fun.
